SILVER GRAY 



I am not located in reach of the mountain 

 country. The reason the mountains are 

 better is the poplar timber isn't cut out for 

 lumber. 



I have had two outapiaries for three 

 years; they didn't pay anything, not 

 enough to pay for the hives that the bees 

 were put into. I sold one of the out-api- 

 aries of 13 colonies last fall, and I am going 

 to sell the other as soon as I can find a 

 buyer. I have 3.5 colonies here at home, 

 which are as many as I can attend to for a 

 short i)rofit. A. C. Babb.

A Beginner's Experienee. 



I got two swarms last summer; one did 

 fairly well, and the other v/ie had bad luck 

 all along, and finally died. I found one last 

 fall in .the cornfield (Sept. IT), an average- 

 sized swarm of very light hybrids. I 

 brought them home and put them into an 

 Strame hive, and fed them sugar syrup; 

 they built 7 frames about 2,j full of comb, 

 but did not get it full of stores. They did 

 very well until we had a young blizzard, 

 and that ended them with some stores left. 

 I think the cluster got too small to keep 

 warm, as they died off quite fast. 



I think this ought to be a very good sec- 

 tion for bees, as we have early pasture, 

 willow, soft maple, plenty of fruit, white 

 clover in all the pasture land, and lots of 

 buckwheat and wild aster in the fall.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, March 21.— Fancy white, 13c; No. 1, 

 11'" 12c; ambers, 9i<i 10c; dark, 7i<j8c. Extracted, 

 white clover, Sc; other kinds, 7c; amber and 

 dark, 5(S'6c. Beeswax, 27(?'2tfc. 



There is no change of consequence since our 

 last quotations. Stocks of the best g-rades of 

 white comb are being reduced, and receipts are 

 light, with some accumulation of the off g-rades, 

 there being additions to tho^e grades from time 

 to time. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Detroit, March 9.— Fancy white comb scarce 

 and higher and we now quote it 13(a 14c; No. 1, 

 12fg 13c; fancy dark and amber, lOftlllc. There 

 is considerable poor honev in the commission 

 houses which is offered at S(" '>c. Extracted, 

 while, 6^2'^ 7c: dark, 5^«6c. Beeswax. 25(<i'-26l'ic. ' 

 M. H. Hunt. 



Kansas City, Mnrch 10.— Fancy white comb, 

 13c; No. 1, 12c; amber, lie: dark, 10c. Extracted 

 while, 6c; amber, 5c; dark, 4'Xc. Beeswax, 25c. 

 C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, March 8.— Fancv white,12c: No. 1 

 white, lOfallc; amber, 9c; buckwheat and dark, 

 6(rt'7c. Comb honey is pretty well cleaned up 

 now and we expect to dispose of the balance of 

 our stock during this month. Excepting Cali- 

 fornia there is not much stock of extracted on 

 our market. Demand is fair at unchanged quo- 

 tations. Beeswax^ 2"ff? 28c. 



HiLDKETH Bros. & Segelken. 



San Francisco, March 15.— White comb, 10@ 

 10!'2c; amber, 7!4^'9c. Extracted, white, 7K(^ 

 7J2C; light amber, 6-^4(5 7c. Beeswax, 24@26c. 



Present slim stocks admit of onlv a light job- 

 bing business being transacted," with" values 

 much the same as previously noted. The com- 

 ing crop is likely to be small. The bees are now 

 being fed in a large portion of Southern Cali- 

 fornia, and many are reported to have already 

 died. 



Boston, April 1.— Fancv white, 13c: A No. 1, 

 12f«*12^c; No. 1. llMl2c; No. 2, 9@lOc: demand 

 fair; no call for dark. Extracted, supplj- very 

 light, good demand. White in 60-pound cans, 

 "jic: light amber in barrels, 7c. Beeswax, very 

 light stock, good demaud, 2'*c. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Buffalo, April 1.— Little or no strictly fancy 

 one- pound comb honey here. It would sell 

 well at about IK" 12c. Few lots of common, 

 dark, etc., arriving, and sell at 7mSc mostly: 

 some very poor at 6c. There is no extracted 

 here; worth from 4;2'«5!-^c: e.Ktra fancy, 6c. 

 Fancy pure beeswax, 30(«32c: poor, 25(a}2Sc. 



Batterson & Co. 



Omaha, April 1.— Fancv white quotable at 

 13(0 13^sc: choice, 12^ 12^2C. Extracted, 6J3C. 



Quotations are practically nominal, as there 

 is no stock left now in receivers hands, and 

 dealers have also but very little left. There will 

 not be a pound of any kind of honey carried over 

 in this market. Peycke Bros. 



Milwaukee, March 2.— Fancv 1-lb. sections, 

 13(fl;Uc; A No. 1, 12(3 12;^c: No.i, llwl2c; dark 

 or amber or old, 7('_' 10c. Extracted, in barrels or 

 kegs, white, 7(g7j3c; dark. 5J4(a;6J4c. Beeswax, 

 25<a^27c. 



Since our last report we have had a very good 

 market for honey, and the demand has been 

 very good for all grades, especially for sections 

 of the best quality, and the demand is good now 

 and small supply. We encourage shipments of 

 best comb. Extracted, fair demaud.
